Anyone else finish the puzzles? Fun little set, though not quite as challenging as some of the ones at DeepSix.

Yeah, they were a nice daily diversion. They did say they were supposed to increase in difficulty level, so I was hoping they'd get a bit more challenging by the end, but they were still pretty fun. Hopefully we'll make it into the first 10,000 to have finished and get to play the final round next week!

I miss DeepSix, though... wonder what ever happened to them? They never did post results for the last several puzzles... I assume they didn't pay out, either. MolGen - you won one or two of those, didn't you? I wonder if they'll ever take care of that and post more?

Well, they never posted the results, so I don't officially know. I assumed that I at least had a good shot at a win on a couple quick finishes. Never got paid for anything. :(

Any idea what the final round entails? I didn't realize it was timed, or I would have kept a closer eye on Google to see when the last puzzle got posted. I think I finished it in the early afternoon. (2ish?)

Edit - Found some info on the final challenge, sounds kinda cool. Now I really want to know if I made the finals.

Final Phase. Finalists will be mailed via U.S. postal service, for scheduled delivery by May 18, 2006, a limited edition Cryptex replica and a screenshot of 4 codes (the "Finalist Prize"). One of the included codes will open the Cryptex. Inside will be a scroll with instructions on how to access the Final Puzzle Challenge online. Prior to May 18, 2006, Finalists will also be e-mailed instructions at the email address provided by each Finalist on his/her Official Contest Entry on how to access the Final Puzzle Challenge.

Once a Finalist logs into the Final Puzzle Challenge and clicks "Begin" the Finalist will be timed. Timing will stop when the Finalist correctly and sequentially completes all five puzzles and clicks "Submit." DO NOT PAUSE, LOG OUT OR RESTART THE FINAL PUZZLE CHALLENGE. Finalists who attempt to pause, log out or restart the Final Puzzle Challenge will be instantly disqualified and ineligible to continue playing.

The Finalist who correctly and successfully solves the Final Puzzle Challenge in the least amount of time (as measured by the official computer determining timing) will be declared the Grand Prize Winner.

I'm pretty sure the new puzzles were posted at 1:00 each afternoon, so sounds like you got it within an hour or so... I think I got to it around 1:15. I also read somewhere that they'd be sending emails to the finalists on or about May 15th.
